String Trio in the Park

On Thursday June 7th, I played violin with a string trio in the park on Lisbon St. in Lewiston. The event was a dedication to Chief Justice Armand Dufresne-- the park was named after him already-- I believe that a monument was being put up. It meant a new venue to play with a new audience, so I was ready.

We were two violins and viola-- but last minute that changed to a bass viola da gamba (with gut strings). The instrumentation was not perfect since the violins were overpowering and tuning issues arose (gut outside is an issue). We played early Italian music-- Corelli,. Samartini, Monteverdi-- no one made a comment as to it being appropriate or not, but it sounded good.
More of these gigs are on the way.

Thanks!
